Netflix’s Lost Ollie is the latest take on this genre. From creator Shannon Tindle, a character designer on Kubo and the Two Strings and Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, Lost Ollie is a loose adaptation of William Joyce’s children’s book Ollie’s Odyssey. While Lost Ollie touches on familiar beats of toy-focused stories, it also plunges further into some of the darker implications of a world where toys are alive and fleshes out the child’s point of view. By doing so, Lost Ollie reminds us just how evocative that well-worn story can be when given enough care and detail.

This section needs plot summaries. You can provide one by editing this article. ( October 2022) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Crocodile Tears: Zozo seems to fake-cry to lower Ollie's guard before trying to kill him, but it's left up for interpretation whether or not his crying was genuine remorse or if this was merely a manipulation tactic. Lost Ollie is set to hit Netflix in August 2022 and is a hybrid of live-action/animated limited series and one of our most anticipated releases for the entirety of 2022. Here’s an updated guide to everything you need to know about Lost Ollie, which hits Netflix globally on August 24th, 2022. With nods to Toy Story and Knuffle Bunny, but with that insoucient joie de vivre that is all William Joyce’s and Moonbot’s own, here’s a look at what REALLY goes on with your stuffed animals when the lights are out. Throughout it all, though, Ollie searches for his boy Billy, because he loves Billy and he knows Billy loves him. Ollie’s quest is simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking. The show might tread on familiar territory in the setup, but by the end it’s so evocative that any overdone tropes feel fresh, like they’ve just hit for the first time. Lost Ollie captures the feeling of confiding in a favorite toy, through the highs and lows of childhood. And just like the Skin Horse told the Velveteen Rabbit, sometimes it does hurt — becoming real, growing up, being loved. But it is worth it, and Lost Ollie manages to show that there is both joy and sorrow in everything.

Netflix’s Lost Ollie review: If Toy Story messed you up

Real isn’t how you are made... It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become real,” says the Skin Horse, the oldest, wisest toy in Margery Williams’ The Velveteen Rabbit, a children’s book that turned 100 this year. Blige will voice Rosy, a teddy bear who becomes Ollie’s ally on his quest to find Billy. Nelson rounds out the voice cast as Zozo, a clown doll with an old soul who also agrees to help Ollie on his journey. Stories about toys being real and having feelings are a staple of children’s media, and for good reason. There is a special connection between a child and their favorite toy, and stories like The Velveteen Rabbit, Toy Story, Calvin and Hobbes, Winnie the Pooh, and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane all illustrate that bond in different ways. Filming ran for only a month according to numerous production sources with it wrapping on Marhc 18th, 2022. Asatryan, Tigran (March 23, 2021).
